        "question": "From which cities in United States can I fly to Phoenix?",
        "answer": "You can fly nonstop to Phoenix from over 100 cities across the United States, with the most frequent departures from Denver, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Major hubs like Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Salt Lake City also offer numerous daily flights on carriers such as Southwest, American, United, Delta, and Frontier. Travelers typically choose a departure city based on proximity and flight availability, as most large and mid-sized US airports have nonstop service, while smaller cities may require a connection through a hub like Denver or Dallas. One-stop options are widely available via these hubs, though nonstop routes are so extensive that most passengers can find direct flights from their region.",
        "methodology": "The U.S. departure cities with nonstop service to this destination and their weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We identify every U.S. airport with scheduled nonstop service, group airports into their metropolitan areas, and rank cities by scheduled weekly departures.",

From other important cities without nonstops, like New York, a one-stop connection typically takes 6 to 7 hours total. Return flights are generally similar in duration.",
